awkward talk

Zee gave a soft exhale of relief as Deathbelle tousled her fur, a smile touching her lips at the familiar touch. "I love you too." She responded easily, stepping forward to rub her muzzle against the other woman's cheek. "Though I've always seen you more as a sister then a lover." Her admittance came with a soft chuckle, and she sighed into her friend's fur.

This was what she'd always wanted from their relationship, and it was a relief for her to hear that their dynamic wouldn't be risked off Deathbelle's broken heart. But was it still shattered as it was a season ago? She'd sensed a change in her Empress, one for the better. "I can't help but think that maybe this change of heart has to do with a little healer?" Zee suggested playfully, stepping back from Deathbelle to give her a smile.
